The Road to Nowhere

...or to be more accurate, the remains of the unfinished road to Upper Snitterton.

Those of you with long memories will recall that the road from Easter Rhynnie to Upper Snitterton was started, but stopped after the Fine Fare Ergot Accident. For those not in the know, the foreman of the road crew bought some out-of-date bread and bacon from Fine Fare and the apprentices cooked them up in the traditional manner. Unfortunately, the bread was tainted by ergot and the entire crew suffered delusions and psychoses. The only survivor was Reuben Goldstein who, being Jewish, didn't join in the bacon butty break.

The slide above is a haunting reminder of the dangers of white bread.  Let it be a warning to you all.
